  1. Individuals yet again. The usual suspects will blame NP for Atkinson's **** up there as per usual. Maybe errors like this was the reason he was dropped.
  2. Swansea fans singing England's coming home is very ironic. Short memories I assume?
  3. Rest in Peace Football Italia legend
  4. LJ did do well though in 18/19 up until March when he did his special of bottling when it really mattered. 4 Points clear of 7th with 4 games to go and somehow we ended up 8th. Too worried about the opposition all the time
  5. He also stumbled across Reid being an adequate Striker. We had no forwards in pre season before Diedhiou signed that were fully fit so he tried Reid up front with Hinds in pre season and it worked well. It wasn't no tactical masterclass by him. Too many hung up on 4 months of good football in 2017/18. There were home performances under LJ in his final 3 years that were much worse than we've been served up recently. LJ was too interested in winning tactical battles against other Managers, the success in 17/18 went to his head a bit and thought he was some sort of genius, the next Eddie Howe of English football management. He was anything but. An extremely cautious manager from 2018 onwards and we bottled the playoffs massively in 18/19. We should have made them with the squad we had. He should have gone after that, he'd lost his way.
  6. In 2009-10 we lost 3 home games - Cardiff 0-6, Doncaster 2-5, Sheffield Utd 2-3. Considering we were mainly up against bigger clubs with better facilities than us back then, that's a pretty strong home record for City barring those couple of hammerings mentioned there.
  7. Smith was absolutely incredible in that Final
  8. The guy is worse than Blatter and Platini and that is saying something. He's an absolute tool Apparently there was a contract made with TV companies that they had to show him on camera at a certain point in every game he attended.
  9. Our home form has been below par since around 2010. Used to be a bit of a fortress before then, aside from 2014/15. I miss going to home games and thinking how much we would win by today, and it being opposite for away games.
  10. I don't like Taylor, but he is undoubtedly the best ever. The PDC wouldn't be up to the standards it is now without Taylor setting the bar as high as he did. He's also probably the worst winner ever and the worst loser ever in any individual Sport. A really unlikeable bloke.
  11. I have criticised Lansdown's for managerial decisions and prices at the club, however in general over the last 20 years you wouldn't find many owners in England who would continuously pump the money they put into the club with zero in return. Without their money and input we could easily have been where Swindon are right now or Bradford, languishing in League 2 with zero ground development and investment. We are where we are, what we have been for the majority of Bristol City's lifespan - a lower half Championship club. Part of me feels a couple of decent years under LJ has lead to a sense of entitlement from the younger sections of our chavy S82 support.
  12. Spoilt, entitled and arrogant. What do these 'fans' want back from the club?
  13. Agreed. The absolute desperation to sack him has gone way over the top, I'm surprised LJ lasted this long really considering the amount of losing runs he had. The club is in a bit of a mess behind the scenes and that's because of past mistakes. Sacking him won't resolve anything and this antipathy towards NP caused mainly by our own fans is nothing short of pathetic.
  14. That 19/20 squad is much better than the squad we have now.
  15. Have said on other threads - sacking Pearson doesn't change much. I have zero faith that SL will get in the right man based on his previous record. Massive problems at this club and it all feels rather stale and the fans can feel it based on the rather stale atmosphere at the club these past 3 or 4 years. SL doesn't have the passion for it as he used to (understandably). It's all very safe and cushty, the place needs a shake up and new owners would probably be worth the risk right now.
  16. Imagine booing a player who is a supporter of this club, i'd feel like absolute **** of I was King. Absolutely embarassing by some of our so called 'fans'. It's not King's fault that he is being selected out of position.
  17. Warnock would be a disaster here. He would want signings immediately on decent wages, he'd scrap playing any young players and we'd literally start going route 1 from minute 1.. Although for some fans that would be fantastic viewing as long as we were getting results ?
  18. it would likely be given to Curtis Fleming after an unbeaten run of 3 games as caretaker. Our whole process at selecting Managers have been woeful in SLs reign, literally amateur
  19. It's suggestions like this which really makes me question what kind of club our fans think we are? Gerrard would never come here
  20. Sacking him won't get us anywhere. We have no money to spend, who will really want to come here with that hanging over them? I also have zero faith in the owners making the right appointment after the farce when LJ was sacked and based on previous poor managerial appointments. I'm also really surprised some are calling us a sinking ship now - we have been for the last 3 years. The football has been awful ever since 17/18 and the results have only been going one way. Sacking NP is just putting a plaster over our sinking ship. There's a serious issue at this club which haven't been addressed since Cotterill left and even before that we were cannon fodder in this Division.
  21. We have been a sinking ship since 2019 dont know why some fans are waking up to it now
